Audiotapes are not returnable.

Damaged packages may be refused at time of delivery.

For Jumpbook eTextbook Rental Purchases

You may cancel your Jumpbooks e-textbook digital rental and request an immediate refund within 14 days of your initial purchase, provided that:

you have viewed and/or printed, in total, less than 20 percent of the Jumpbooks e-textbook rental (including "strolling/scanning" through the book)

you have not yet used the access code for any online resource included with your e-textbook rental purchase.

Notes:

If you have accessed your e-textbook and checked out any part of it to view offline, it will have to be checked in as percentage used eligibility. If you rent a Jumpbooks e-textbook, request a refund, and then rent the same Jumpbooks e-textbook, you will not be eligible to request any further refunds for that Jumpbooks e-textbook.

In order to request a refund, you must contact the bookstore at 800-847-3000, ext. 2365, or email bookstore@esc.edu within 14 days of the date of your purchase, not from the start date of the course. When you purchase a Jumpbook, you are actually purchasing a subscription to an e-textbook rental that usually expires 180 days from the date of purchase. You will not have access to the e-textbook rental after that time. Please take this into consideration when purchasing to be sure you will still have access at the end of your study.
